“…, 1973. In addition, if humans are concurrently infected with both human and avian strains of influenza there is an increased risk of a new subtype emerging, which could result in the direct transmission between humans with the possibility of a pandemic (Webster 1998;Snacken et al . 1999;Baigent and McCauley 2003;Katz 2003).…”

“…Of these, influenza viruses have contributed to the spread of deadly influenza infections such as those caused by the Spanish (H1N1 swine flu), Asian (H2N2), Hong Kong (H3N2) and Russian (H1N1) subtypes [1,2]. The proteolytic maturation of surface envelope glycoproteins is a common virulence-activating step of many pathogenic viruses, leading to the formation of ' activated ' proteins, which allow the fusion of the virions with host cell membranes.…”

Fluorogenic peptides encompassing the processing sites of envelope glycoproteins of the infectious influenza A Hong Kong virus (HKV), Ebola virus (EBOV) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) were tested for cleavage by soluble recombinants of the proprotein convertases furin, PC5 and PC7. Kinetic studies with these intramolecularly quenched fluorogenic peptides revealed selective cleavages at the physiological dibasic sites. The HKV peptide is cleaved by both furin and PC5 with similar efficacy ; in comparison, PC7 cleaves this substrate poorly. In contrast with the basic tetrapeptide insertion within the haemagglutinin sequence of HKV, two other dipeptide insertions revealed a poorer cleavage with a similar rank order of potency. These results demonstrate that the N-terminal RERR insertion to the wild-

“…The "Hong Kong Flu" occurred in 1968-1969 and was caused by an "A" (H3N2) type virus (Snacken et al, 1999). It is estimated that 750,000 people world-wide died of the virus, and 34,000 of those deaths occurred in the United States.…”

“…The origin of the 1918-1919 pandemic virus is not clear, but it is believed to be caused by a type "A" (H1N1) virus (Snacken, Haaheim, & Wood, 1999). The Spanish influenza epidemic caused an estimated 22 million deaths around the world according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).…”

Also, this project is intended to foster the communication and planning process for vaccine distribution between all stakeholders, including the DLA, COCOMs, and regional commanders. Currently, no DoD pre-pandemic vaccine distribution plan exists. This project identifies the essential infrastructure assets needed to develop a cold-chain distribution network for vaccine in a military application. Furthermore, the key communication and transportation elements needed for successful execution of this network are identified, including a discussion on information and vaccine flow through the distribution network. These ideas are organized into a model to provide an easily usable decision-making tool for cold-chain network design. Finally, an example using the model is provided, with PACOM as the example area of operation.
